Music (#1?) things the guy who makes the bagel pictures likes

Music is such a subjective subject that I typically don’t force it on anyone but friends who can appreciate where it’s coming from. And since there’s always someone hipper to new music, (I’m totally into… all the rap… bands… mmmno) it’s usually redundant to post one’s own choices in entertainment for all to see and instantly reject.

That being said, I don’t really mind.

So I thought I’d start posting snippits of music I appreciate, seeing as how the many hours a week I spend drawing are empty without such musical accompaniment. Perhaps it pleases you to hear a taste in music recommended by the artist of a comic you read, which a few people at the New York Comic Con actually requested.

This week, (varying the frequency of this posting) I’ll dip my toe semi-safely with a selection I’m pretty sure most can enjoy for what it is. A sampling of Local Natives’ “World News”, whose chill ambience and sincerity I appreciate:

UPDATE: Okay, apparently Microsoft liked my post so much that they went back in time and used the song in a xbox Kinect commercial.

Phnire-Khan Art from Evan Hodgins

For what is now the 4th time Sir Evan Hodgins has contributed Also, Bagels art, he continues to astound with that awesome line work and shading. I take the liberty of calling it “Phnire Khan”:

He has his artwork cut out for him as he continues a twice-a-week gaming strip and now daily B&W hero strip. Neither of those being family-friendly, I invite you to see his sketchblog and go from there!

My interview with Tom Rracine of Tall Tale Radio is up, in which it quickly becomes apparent it’s my first interview AND I’m not used to talking about myself for long stretches of time. Tom is a class act and it was a pleasure to do. The full interview is up here!

New York Comic Con?!

Imma be there! Imma be there at a booth, and that booth is 2584. I’ll have Also, Bagels Vol. 1 and some other stuff I haven’t shown you before, including a new button pack and some stickahs! Come by and say hi! I’m really not weird at all! (Someone vouch for me, here?) If you’re reading this now and you stop by the booth, the code word is “fundlebundle” (naturally). Or, the more grown up substitute, “cactus fingernails”. Or I dunno, just say you came from the site. (boring…) The show looks pretty exciting, with plenty of booths and exhibits from all realms of pop culture, not just boring old comics. It spans all 3 of the days between Friday, October 8th to Sunday, October 10th. Hope to see you there!

Addendum: For those planning their weekend, the hours of the show are:

Friday 10AM-1PM open to “professionals” ONLY, 1PM-7PM Open to the general public. (That’s you!)
Saturday 10AM-7PM
Sunday 10AM-5PM

So there ya go.

Man borrows Steak Knife from T.G.I. Fridays, subsequently declares hold up

It’s my personal belief that when it comes to articles on the internet, 80% of the content past the title is filler.

For clarification, the sample news item is completely fabricated.
